I decided I was going to try not to talk on the phone today. I tend to do that. Talk on the phone for no particular reason. Try to think of people to call during those moments when HD and I have been playing for a while and I just need a little interaction with someone who can say more back to me than "Daddaaa, ish, yesh." So, I was doing really well and we were working on installing the new Boon Frog Pod that I got for BH and HD for Christmas before HD's afternoon nap (an item I was convinced into buying by one of my three dedicated readers). And then, as it often does, my plan went out the window.
The phone rang. Unavailable. 800 number. I picked up. I was feeling desperate. It was Angie's List. I'm a long-time member. They were trying to fill their review coffers and wondered if I'd had any services recently that I hadn't had a chance to review on-line. Well, yes, in fact, I did. And, I need to let the tub wall dry completely (by waiting at least 10 minutes) before I can complete my frog installation (I didn't actually tell them that part). Let me tell you ALL about them.
For the next 13 minutes, I talked to the nice young man from somewhere in the middle of the country, and told him all about my positive experiences with my local Sunoco service station where we get work done on the car, my horrific experience with Empire Today! carpet - which he eagerly listened to but didn't record since I didn't actually have work done by them. When I asked why he didn't cut me off to tell me that, he kindly said that it was an interesting story. Maybe he likes being on the phone too. Then I told them about my fabulous pediatrician and OB/GYN - my first medical service provider reviews since they've added that section to the site. He thanked me for my time, I stopped myself from thanking him for his, and I finished putting the frog together while HD continued to entertain himself with all sorts of dangerous non-toy objects around us.
Maybe someone exciting like the bank will call tomorrow to see how I'm doing. I have lots to say to them.
